The Siege 2 and 1/2 Stars (Out of 4) Reviewed by Mac VerStandig<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Http://www.moviereviews.org
One of the most interesting scenarios that is posed by United States law is the option for the military to take control in a time of crisis, and declare a state of martial law. Being that this has never been done for a period of time long enough to encounter the various circumstances it would raise, martial law remains a mysterious threat to the American people. It could be a saving grace or it could be a nightmare. With that known, martial law could have provided one of the greatest settings that is possible for a movie. And then, imagine this moving having 3 great actors like Denzel Washington, Bruce Willis and Annette Bening. The Siege had potential written all over it. And, to some degree, it met it's potential. However, for the most part, The Siege turned out to be little more than an average films with a few high points.
The year is 2000. (Although that is never actually stated, the Oklahoma City bombing is often mentioned as having been 5 years earlier.) That gives a time in the future so that we may suspend all belief, but it also allows for a present day society. Somewhere in the middle east, an Islamic leader is taken hostage by the US military. This is classified information though, and ranks as high as the president are not informed.
New York City is suddenly taken by surprise as a series of massive terrorist attacks all take place in Brooklyn. FBI/NYPD officer Hubbard (Denzel Washington) is at the very front of the investigation. His partner is the Lebanese-American Frank Haddad (Tony Shalhoub). And CIA agent Elise Kraft (Annette Bening) is brought in to assist. On top of that, General Devereaux (Bruce Willis) of the US military, is in New York offering his assistance as well.
The biggest problem in looking into these terrorist bombings, is that they are all suicide bombings. Other than the fact that the bomber is always Islamic, the FBI/CIA/NYPD/Military have nothing to work with because the suspect is always dead, and therefore there are no links left back to the mastermind. Even worse, it is feared that there may not be a mastermind, but rather the "mastermind" is the Islamic faith.
Through a series of events, Brooklyn is declared to be a dangerous area and a war is declared against terrorism. However, unlike previous events in American history in which the president declared a "war on terrorism," this war is quite literal. General Devereaux is put in charge, and New York quickly becomes a city under siege. Every street is covered with military, and traffic isn't caused by cars, but rather tanks. AK-47 Assault Riffles become as common as candy during the holiday season.
What you have in The Siege should be every American's worst nightmare. The basic rights that are often taken for granted, are revoked. Freedom of speech is quick to go, and from there life is a rapid deterioration. The mere thought of a martial law is intensely frightening. The Siege has 3 big name actors that help make this one of the most intense films of the year. Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis are brilliant. Often given the opportunity to deliver monologues and speeches, they are the most powerful part of this film. Not since Michael Douglas declared greed to be good in the 1987 award winning film Wall Street, have lines been delivered that well. However, Annette Bening is a huge disappointment. Not only is she remarkably not believable in what appears to be a simple role, but she is frustrating to watch. You are reminded of the little kid in a school play who just can't remember that one line. But, on a brighter note, the relatively unheard of Tony Shalhoub in incredible. Though never given a huge scene, or monologue of a comparable nature to Willis or Washington, he gets the job done in stylish fashion.
The last problem that The Siege encounters, is the incredibly racist message. The Nation of Islam is the villain. Not a member of the faith, although members are singled out, but rather the impression given is that the entire faith is somewhat at fault for terrorism. Throughout Washington D. C. this film has been protested. Upon exiting the theater, I was given a flyer by a protester explaining what the true beliefs are and how the movie distorted them. To find a movie as ignorantly racist as this, you would have to go back to 1915 and D. W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation. And yet, that managed to survive all these years because it was a ground breaking masterpiece. Unfortunately, the siege doesn't have those values to it.

UNESCO's Disneyfinger
Updated on | By DJ Strouse | Permalink
UNESCO World Heritage status is usually considered an honor, but it has its drawbacks.
Granting a location the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site is meant as an honor, stating that the site is worthy of ecological and cultural preservation. Unfortunately for the cultural sites, it often instead leads to Disneyfication.
World Heritage Background
The World Heritage Committee has its roots in the international collaborative effort that saved a series of Ancient Egyptian temples from flooding created by the construction of the Aswan Dam. Today, countries nominate sites that are of high natural or cultural importance to the common heritage of humanity, and the Committee meets once a year to approve or deny nominees. Selection is accompanied by funding and advisement to promote preservation.
Disneyfication
I define Disneyfication as the transformation of a community to a state in which it cannot live without tourism. A Disneyfied community charges admission, sells mass-produced souvenirs, and carries on traditional rituals for profit instead of pride.
UNESCO’s Disneyfinger
When a site gets the green light by the Committee, two groups immediately rush in: profiteers and tourists. The profiteers turn village workshops into souvenir shops, farms into hotels, and ancient streets into outdoor malls. The tourists eat it up, believing they are coming into contact with vibrant pockets of preserved history. Instead, their experience is often more like that of going to Disney World - stay at a Hilton Hotel, eat mass-produced fast food, and buy supposedly handmade cultural items that were imported from a factory in Indonesia. More importantly, since tourists have more money, its a lot smarter for community members to cater to tourists instead of carrying on the activities that made them a sustainable community, such as farming. Eventually, these communities even start importing their food and ‘local handmade goods.’
China’s Goldfish
Two factors magnify the Disneyfinger in China. One, China has the largest population on the planet. Two, that same population is also experiencing the fastest economic growth on the planet. These two factors combine to create a massive group of eager tourists that swarm to vacation sites like goldfish on pellets. As UNESCO drops their ‘pellets’ across the country, tourists move in kind.
How I Came to Believe in the Disneyfinger
I originally thought to use UNESCO’s list as an itinerary. More recently, its become a red flag. It means crowds and admission fees. It means we’ll find the same ‘Lao Jie’, or Old Street, that was once the most ancient street in town but is now lined with tea and souvenir shops. It means we’ll meet the same adults of the community running souvenir shops and the same children of the committee employed as tour guides.
Sure there are plenty of benefits to World Heritage Site status. Rural communities gain access to the economic growth their urban counterparts have been enjoying, urban tourists do get at least a taste of rural lifestyles, and important communities are protected from being cleared out for big construction projects.
But while those communities may not be physically destroyed by wrecking balls, they very well be internally destroyed by cultural degradation. If everyone’s serving the tourists, who’s actually serving the community?

The area around the West Duluth roundhouse is beginning to take shape. A Weaver 2-
John Crawford reconfigured the hillside Southeast of the West Duluth yard. In truth this hill does not exist in this area, but we were compelled to put a hill to support the upper level track that crosses over . Even though it is not true to prototype, we all think it creates a great scene and provides us with a view block.
Looking over the turntable into the doors of the West Duluth roundhouse affords a view of some of the details that have been placed inside.
Here is Jeff McDonald plugging away at ballasting the West Duluth yard. We are using
cinder ballast from Timberline Scenery Products. It is a crushed walnut shell ballast
which is lightweight and can be rather finicky to use until you get the hang of
it. We find that the ballast must be thoroughly saturated with wet water prior to
using the glue mix. The water-
Dry ballast is poured over the track and spread with a soft paint brush. In the yard; the entire area is covered with the cinder ballast as well as the track.
The West Duluth yard looking toward the roundhouse. It required several days to ballast all of this area.
The Plasticville trailer park is beginning to look well established as the backdrop has been painted and some basic scenery has begun to take shape. Looks like the woman could not keep her footing in the excitement of the landscaping going on around her! The fellow with the beer seems to take it all in stride. These figures are from Woodland Scenics.
A lot of the hardshell has been painted an earth color and some basic ground foam texturing has been done in preparation for more detailed scenery yet to come.
The over/under leading into the mountain loop looks much better with a bit of paint and ground cover. Some of the unpainted hardshell can be seen in the background.

Something that has to be done to break a network program (typically a
mailer) on a non-Unix system so that it will interoperate with Unix
systems. The hack may qualify as Unix brain damage if the program
conforms to published standards and the Unix program in question does
not. Unix brain damage happens because it is much easier for other
(minority) systems to change their ways to match non-conforming behavior
than it is to change all the hundreds of thousands of Unix systems out
there.
An example of Unix brain damage is a `*kluge* <../K/kluge.html>`__ in a
mail server to recognize bare line feed (the Unix newline) as an
equivalent form to the Internet standard newline, which is a carriage
return followed by a line feed. Such things can make even a hardened
`*jock* <../J/jock.html>`__ weep.

Meal Advisor is a restaurant and menu item review site. Meal Advisor aims to let people know not so much where to eat, but rather what to eat wherever you are. People can register themselves as a reviewer and make comments, add restaurants, add dishes or simply rate dishes to contribute. Dining out is expensive, and its easy to forget what you like or dislike at a restaurant. We hope your next meal is a great meal!
The original site (formerly "meal advisor") was built on the symfony PHP5 web framework and was used as a model for creating this current incarnation.
The site was redesigned using OmniGraffle and inspired by black-background sites such as Popurls. We used the Silk icons from Fam Fam Fam. Occasional assistance came from Adobe's Illustrator and Photoshop products.
We use Rackspace Cloud to host a virtual Ubuntu server. We serve static
content using nginx (pronounced "Engine-X") and requests for dyanmic
content are delivered to an Apache 2 HTTP server running
mod_python
. The meal advisor application is built using the
django web framework for python.
Using mysql as its data storage.
The site is developed for Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 7.

India, Germany agree to boost industrial cooperation
by https://www.dawn.com/authors/156/ap, APIndia and Germany have agreed to enhance cooperation in tackling climate change, cybersecurity, skill development, artificial intelligence, energy security, civil aviation and defense production.
The two countries signed several agreements on Friday in New Delhi, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying India is eager to benefit from Germany’s expertise.
Visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country would also like to collaborate with India in infrastructure projects, waste management and water supply.
Merkel is accompanied by several ministers and state secretaries as well as a business delegation.
Germany is India’s largest trading partner in Europe. Bilateral trade reached $21.9 billion in the 2017-18 financial year, an increase of 17% from the previous year.


The MapView class is responsible for rendering the whole map and managing mouse-based interaction. Classes describe kinds of things; instances represent things themselves. We only create one instance of MapView (in hospitals.pde), but we will create many instances of other classes.
class MapView {
Each instance of MapView will have its own copy of these variables.
First, we have a bunch of integers (int
) which record the number of rows and columns in the map, the x and y
coordinates of the map on the screen, the width and height of the map on the
screen, and the width and height of each cell in the map.
int cols, rows, x, y, map_width, map_height, cell_width, cell_height;
cell_views
will be a two-dimensional array of MapCellViews, each of which will be
responsible for rendering one cell in the map.
MapCellView[][] cell_views;
tiles
will hold an array of images. These will be used by MapCellViews during rendering,
bit it would be pretty inefficient to ask each MapCellView to re-load the same images.
So instead the MapView will load them once, and make them available to each MapCellView.
PImage[] tiles;
active_cell_model
will be a reference to a particular cell model. This will be used when
the player drags a hospital around the screen. When the mouse is dragged over a new cell, we will
need to remember where the hospital used to be so that we can move it from there to the new
cell.
MapCellModel active_cell_model;
A class constructor describes how to make a new instance. For MapView, you need to provide integers for the number of columns and rows, the x and y screen coordinates, and the width and height of the map on the screen.
MapView(int _cols, int _rows, int _x, int _y, int _map_width, int _map_height) {
Save the arguments in instance variables so we can access them later. This is a common pattern you'll see in other classes.
cols = _cols;
rows = _rows;
x = _x;
y = _y;
map_width = _map_width;
map_height = _map_height;
Calculate the cell width and height using the other parameters.
cell_width = map_width / cols;
cell_height = map_height / rows;
Create a 2d array to hold a bunch of MapCellViews.
cell_views = new MapCellView[rows][cols];
Load the images we will need for rendering tiles. (These live in the data
folder.)
tiles = new PImage[] {
loadImage("tiles/field.png"),
loadImage("tiles/road.png"),
loadImage("tiles/forest.png"),
loadImage("tiles/town.png"),
loadImage("tiles/hospital.png")
};
Go through every row...
for (int j = 0; j < rows; j++) {
and every column...
for (int i = 0; i < cols; i++) {
and create an instance of a MapCellView, providing x, y, width, and height coordinates (as well as the tile images). This MapCellView will own that little patch of screen.
cell_views[j][i] = new MapCellView(
x + i * cell_width,
y + j * cell_height,
cell_width,
cell_height,
tiles
);
}
}
}
render
is the most important method of every view--render
kicks off the
whole process of rendering the view. When render
is called, a model must be provided,
so we can access the state data to be rendered.
void render(MapModel model) {
Most of the work is delegated to the individual MapCellViews, so we go through every row...
for (int j = 0; j < rows; j++) {
and every column...
for (int i = 0; i < cols; i++) {
look up the right MapCellView, and tell it to render. To do this, we also need to provide the right MapCellModel, but that's getting ahead of ourselves.
cell_views[j][i].render(model.cell_models[j][i]);
}
}
Set the text color to black.
fill(0);
Write some basic instructions at the top right corner of the screen,
text("Place the hospitals", x+map_width - 140, y+20);
text("so they serve the towns", x+map_width - 140, y+32);
and write the score and number of hospitals remaining. Remember, render
gets called
over and over many times per second, so as long as the model always knows the score,
it will be shown correctly.
text("Score: " + model.score(), x+map_width - 140, y+44);
if (model.hospitals_left() > 0) {
text("Hospitals left: " + model.hospitals_left(), x+map_width - 140, y+56);
}
}
Remember how hospitals.pde delegated events to the view? Now we have to describe what should happen when user interaction events occur. In the three functions below, we make it possible for the user to place new hospitals by clicking on empty map cells, and to move hospitals around by clicking, dragging, and releasing cells containing hospitals.
When the mouse is pressed over a cell,
void handle_press(MapModel model) {
Get the map coordinates of the cell under the mouse.
int[] index = get_mouse_cell_index();
Print a debugging statement to the console.
println("PRESS", index[0], index[1]);
Make a variable called cell_model
referring to a particular MapCellModel.
(Use the map coordinates to look up the right cell model.)
MapCellModel cell_model = model.cell_models[index[1]][index[0]];
If the cell is free (it has no towns or hospitals), and there are still more hospitals available to be placed,
if (cell_model.is_free() && model.num_hospitals() < model.hospitals_allowed) {
then add a hospital here, remember this cell as the active cell model, and update the cell distances. (model.update_cell_distances computes each cell's distance to the nearest hospital.)
cell_model.add_hospital();
active_cell_model = cell_model;
model.update_cell_distances();
}
Otherwise, if there's a hospital here,
else if (cell_model.has_hospital) {
remember this as the active cell model.
active_cell_model = cell_model;
}
Finally, in case neither of the previous conditions was true, clear active_cell_model
to indicate
that there is no active cell.
else {
active_cell_model = null;
}
}
When when the mouse moves while pressed,
void handle_drag(MapModel model) {
If the mouse is over the map,
if (mouse_over_map()) {
Get the map coordinates of the cell under the mouse, print a debugging statement to the console, and create a reference to the relevant cell model (same as the previous function).
int[] index = get_mouse_cell_index();
println("DRAG", index[0], index[1]);
MapCellModel cell_model = model.cell_models[index[1]][index[0]];
If there is an active cell, and it's not the same as the cell presently under the mouse, and if the cell presently under the mouse is free,
if (active_cell_model != null && cell_model != active_cell_model && cell_model.is_free()) {
then move the hospital from the active cell to this cell, make this the active cell, and update the cell distances. (A hospital's position has changed, so we need to re-compute every cell's distance to the closest hospital.)
active_cell_model.remove_hospital();
cell_model.add_hospital();
active_cell_model = cell_model;
model.update_cell_distances();
}
}
}
When the user releases the mouse button, clear active_cell_model
to indicate that there is no
active cell (in particular, no hospitals should be getting moved around).
void handle_release() {
println("RELEASE");
active_cell_model = null;
}
In the methods above, there were some tasks that had to be done several times. We were able to simplify the code by pulling this work out into helpers.
Some simple math allows us to convert screen coordinates into map coordinates. The model doesn't know
anything about where on screen the map is getting rendered (or whether it's getting rendered at all),
so we want to work with map coordinates instead. Processing always provides mouseX
and mouseY
.
int[] get_mouse_cell_index() {
int i = (mouseX - x) / cell_width;
int j = (mouseY - y) / cell_height;
We also want to ensure that we never return invalid coordinates, so constrain the return values
to be between 0 and rows - 1
or cols - 1
. Then we return an array with two integers.
int[] cell = new int[] {max(0, min(cols-1, i)), max(0, min(rows-1, j))};
return cell;
}
Returns a boolean (true
or false
) indicating whether the mouse is over the map.
boolean mouse_over_map() {
For x and y, check that the mouse position is big enough but not too big.
return (x <= mouseX && mouseX < x+map_width && y <= mouseY && mouseY < y+map_height);
}
}
Before we go on, I would like to point out that our work here was made much easier because we had model methods like model.score() and model.update_cell_distances() to do the hard work for us. This is another layer of modularity. In earlier versions, this file was a lot messier--whenever possible, it's a good idea to refactor your code and move complexity into the model.

Climate Change Regulatory Initiatives
On This Page:
- Stationary Sources
- Transportation/Mobile Sources
- Other Related Actions
- Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Findings
- Emissions Reporting
EPA is taking a common-sense approach to developing standards for greenhouse gas emissions from mobile and stationary sources under the Clean Air Act. Below are the key proposed or completed actions taken to implement Clean Air Act requirements for carbon pollution and other greenhouse gases.
Stationary Sources
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Air Pollution Standards
On August 29, 2016, EPA announced final updates to its New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) to reduce emissions of methane-rich landfill gas from new, modified and reconstructed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. Learn More.
Oil and Natural Gas Air Pollution Standards
EPA’s Clean Air Act regulations for the oil and natural gas industry help combat climate change and reduce air pollution that harms public health. The regulations apply to equipment and activities used for the onshore oil and natural gas industry. Learn More.
On August 3, 2015, EPA finalized the Clean Power Plan Rule to cut carbon pollution from existing power plants. Learn More.
Clean Air Act Permitting for Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the largest stationary sources were, for the first time, covered by the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and title V Operating Permit Programs beginning on January 2, 2011. These permitting programs, required under the Clean Air Act, are proven tools for protecting air quality and the same tools will be used to reduce GHG emissions. Learn More.
Transportation/Mobile Sources
EPA and NHTSA Standards to Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Fuel Use for New Motor Vehicles
EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are taking coordinated steps to enable the production of a new generation of clean vehicles-- from the smallest cars to the largest trucks--through reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved fuel use. Together, the enacted and proposed standards are expected to save more than six billion barrels of oil through 2025 and reduce more than 3,100 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Learn more about standards and regulations for controlling greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles and engines.
Renewable Fuel Standard Program
EPA is also responsible for developing and implementing regulations to ensure that transportation fuel sold in the United States contains a minimum volume of renewable fuel. By 2022, the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 138 million metric tons, about the annual emissions of 27 million passenger vehicles, replacing about seven percent of expected annual diesel consumption and decreasing oil imports by $41.5 billion.
Other Related Actions
Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide
Geologic sequestration is the process of injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) from a source, such as a coal-fired electric generating power plant, into a well thousands of feet underground and sequestering the CO2 underground indefinitely. With proper site selection and management, geologic sequestration could play a major role in reducing emissions of CO2. EPA has finalized requirements for geologic sequestration, including the development of a new class of wells, Class VI, under the authority of the Safe
Drinking Water Act's Underground Injection Control Program. Learn more about EPA's rulemakings on geologic sequestration under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Findings
On December 7, 2009, Administrator Lisa Jackson signed a final action, under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, finding that six key well-mixed greenhouse gases constitute a threat to public health and welfare, and that the combined emissions from motor vehicles cause and contribute to the climate change problem. Learn more about the Greenhouse Gas Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings.
Emissions Reporting
Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program
The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program collects greenhouse gas data from large emission sources across a range of industry sectors, as well as suppliers of products that would emit greenhouse gases if released or combusted. Greenhouse gas data are available through the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program Data Publication Tool.

Distributed Deep Learning¶
The following tools are libraries, which provide the communication functions necessary to perform distributed training. Primarily allReduce and broadcast functions.
- IBM Spectrum MPI: Classic tool for distributed computing. Still commonly used for distributed deep learning.
- NVIDIA NCCL: Nvidia’s gpu-to-gpu communication library. Since NCCL2, between-node communication is supported.
- IBM DDL: Provides a topology-aware all-Reduce. Capable of optimally dividing communication across hierarchies of fabrics. Utilizes different communication protocols at different hierarchies. When WMLCE is installed all related frameworks are comming with IBM DDL support, you don’t have to compile additional software packages, only to modify your training scripts to make use of the need distributed deep learning APIs.
Integrations into deep learning frameworks to enable distributed training is using common communication libraries such as:
- TensorFlow Distribution Strategies. Native Tensorflow distribution methods.
- IBM DDL. Provides integrations into common frameworks, including a Tensorflow operator that integrates IBM DDL with Tensorflow and similar for Pytorch.
- Horovod [Sergeev et al. 2018]. Provides integration libraries into common frameworks which enable distributed training with common communication libraries, including. IBM DDL can be used as backend for Horovod implementation.
Documentation and Tutorial:

Router Class
Probe location and message routing
The router is a class used internally to locate probes and connect events so messages are correctly routed between probes and their monitors.
It is a singleton class, designed to run one instance within
a monitor process, and accessed via the (protected) getRouter()
method of the Monitor object.
It manages all outbound requests to probes, either internally or externally via the Connection to the remote process.

Methods
addConnection
-
options
Add a connection to a remote Monitor process
Parameters:
-
options
Object- Connection parameters
-
hostName
String- Name of the host to connect with
-
hostPort
Integer- Port number to connect with
-
url
String- The URL used to connect (created, or used if supplied)
-
socket
Io.socket- Pre-connected socket.io socket to a Monitor server.
-
gateway
Boolean- Allow this connection to use me as a gateway (default false)
-
firewall
BooleanFirewall inbound probe requests on this connection?
Returns:
addHostConnections
-
hostName
-
callback
Add connections for the specified host
This performs a scan of monitor ports on the server, and adds connections for newly discovered servers.
It can take a while to complete, and if called for the same host before completion, it will save the callback and call all callbacks when the original task is complete.
Parameters:
-
hostName
String- The host to add connections with
-
callback
Function(error)- Called when complete
buildProbeKey
-
probeJSON
Build a probe key from the probe data
Parameters:
Returns:
connectExternal
-
monitorJSON
-
connection
-
callback
Connect to an external probe implementation.
This connects with a probe running in another process. It will coordinate the remote instantiation of the probe if it's not running.
Parameters:
-
monitorJSON
Object- An object containing:
-
connection
Connection- The connection to use
-
callback
Function(error, probeProxy)- Called when connected
connectInternal
-
monitorJSON
-
callback
Connect to an internal probe implementation
This connects with a probe running in this process. It will instantiate the probe if it isn't currently running.
connectMonitor
-
monitor
-
callback
Connect a Monitor object to a remote Probe
This accepts an instance of a Monitor and figures out how to connect it to a running Probe.
Upon callback the probe data is set into the monitor (unless an error occurred)
Parameters:
-
monitor
Monitor- The monitor requesting to connect with the probe
-
callback
Function(error)- (optional) Called when connected
determineConnection
-
monitorJSON
-
makeNewConnections
-
callback
Determine the connection to use for a probe
This uses the connection parameters of the specified monitor to determine (or create) the connection to use for the probe.
If the probe can be instantiated internally, a null is returned as the connection.
This attempts to use an existing connection if available. If not, a connection attempt will be made with the host. If the host cannot be reached directly, it returns a connection with the gateway.
Parameters:
-
monitorJSON
Object- The connection attributes of the monitor
-
makeNewConnections
Boolean- Establish a new connection if one doesn't exist?
-
callback
Function(error, connection)- Called when the connection is known
- error - Set if any errors
- connection - The connection object, or null to run in this process
- Called when the connection is known
disconnectExternal
-
connection
-
probeId
-
callback
Disconnect with an external probe implementation.
Parameters:
-
connection
Connection- The connection to use
-
probeId
String- Probe ID
-
callback
Function(error)- Called when disconnected
disconnectInternal
-
probeId
-
callback
Disconnect with an internal probe implementation.
Parameters:
-
probeId
String- The probe implementation ID to disconnect
-
callback
Function(error, probeImpl)- Called when disconnected
disconnectMonitor
-
monitor
-
reason
-
callback
Disconnect a monitor
This accepts an instance of a connected monitor, and disconnects it from the remote probe.
The probe implementation will be released if this is the only monitor object watching it.

connection
Remove a connection from the router.
This is called to remove the connection and associated routes from the router.
Parameters:
-
connection
Connection- The connection to remove
setFirewall
-
firewall
Firewall new connections from inbound probe requests
When two monitor processes connect, they become peers. By default each process can request probe connections with the other.
If you want to connect with a remote probe, but don't want those servers to connect with probes in this process, call this method to firewall those inbound probe requests.
Setting this will change the firewall value for all new connections. Any existing connections will still accept incoming probe requests.
Parameters:
-
firewall
Boolean- Firewall new connections?
setGateway
-
options
Set the default gateway server
The gateway server is used if a monitor cannot connect directly with the server hosting the probe.
When a monitor is requested to connect with a probe on a specific server, a direct connection is attempted. If that direct connection fails, usually due to a firewall or browser restriction, the monitor will attempt the connection to the probe through the gateway server.
The server specified in this method must have been started as a gateway like this:
// Start a monitor server and act as a gateway
var server = new Monitor.Server({gateway:true});
Parameters:
Returns:
setHostName
-
hostName
Set the current host name.
This sets the host name that this router publishes to new connections. It's only useful if the os hostname isn't the name you want to publish.
Parameters:
-
hostName
String- The host name to publish to new connections
Events
connection:add
A new connection has been established
Event Payload:
-
connection
ConnectionThe added connection
connection:remove
A connection has been terminated
